A Review: ETERNAL WARRIOR: DAYS OF STEEL #1

The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of ETERNAL
WARRIOR: DAYS OF STEEL #1 from Valiant Entertainment. The story is written by Peter
Milligan, illustrated by Cary Nord, with colors by Brian Reber, and letters by Dave
Sharpe.

Gilad, the Eternal Warrior, is the living weapon of the
Geomancer…and he tires of his missions. He is discouraged by the fact that
nothing ever changes; all he sees is constant bloodshed. Unable to make the
planet a more peaceful place, he intends to hide away from everyone.
Unfortunately the Geomancer finds him with a new task: to protect a baby that
is destined to be his people’s salvation. Reluctantly, Gilad decides to do the
mission, but is he already too late?

It’s good to see Gilad flying solo again…even if it’s for
a short series. He’s quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in the
Valiant Universe. A warrior who wants to actually accomplish something
significant (without violence) is a really intriguing idea that Peter Miiligan
and Cary Nord executes perfectly. This is a book worth checking out!
